I look forward to the day that bikes are GPS limited, just bikes mind, car drivers are fine, but I'd love to see the power rangers stuck at speed limits.
Why?
Shush chaps, I've a bite !

Kof, because they are utter 'tards and give the rest of us a bad name.

I know you were only trolling, but I was still intrigued as to what made you write that. By power rangers, did you really mean idiots?

No thanks. 163bhp was barely usable on the road. And I don't do trackdays, racing or drag (racing wink ).

"gixxer" riders and the like, matching bike and leathers, 100 mph plus everywhere, I'm sure you know the type.

So now having leathers the same colours as your bike automatically makes you a tt. It gets better in here. Someone will have to write a rulebook one day on what is and isn't allowed by the experts on the internet, maybe produce a sticker for your bike; "PistonHeads homologated".

Make sure you fully moisturise and exfoliate that delicate thin skin of yours.

BHP is just a pub figure.

Far more important to me is how the bike rides, how quick it accelerates, how quick it stops, how good it feels in the corners, how it sounds and how it looks. I may pay attention to the BHP/tonne figure, but only as a cursory glance.

I've noticed that quite a few people in here are starting to take the usual stereotypical banter far too seriously, what's going on??

Just sell your Harleys, Hondas and matching gear and lighten up biggrin

Indeed, humourless posting is my style and I'll be damned if others want to muscle in on that. furious

Says him that sucks his testicles back up inside himself at the merest hint of someone badmouthing insurance laugh

My bike is white and red and my leathers are black for a start, I actually find the whole "if you don't wear, ride, or say what I like then it's st" posting style of a few on here pretty amusing.

Except I don't. Most have a view as to how I post, based on their own way of reading my posts. I rarely get wound up on BB, maybe sometimes in SP&L, but that's also rare and primarily based on others ignorance.
